This was a commission by Optimist Works for the Duke of Edinburgh awards.

I love working with teens, they have a unique take on the world, which makes photographing them such fun.

The Duke of Edinburgh awards are so very important for many young people, giving them the chance to participate in life-changing programmes. The awards focus particularly on those who experience marginalisation and the participants reflect the most diverse generation of young people ever.

I spent the day at a wonderful youth centre in London, run by the most warm and amazing people who really do change the lives of young people. It was an honour to be able to help promote this fantastic charitable trust.
